Obesity

The results of a major research on 15000 people came out the day before Diwali...done by the most trusted and respected Mayo Clinic. It had an interesting conclusion. It concluded that belly fat is twice as much riskier than the in any case 'high risk obesity'!


So basically people who have belly fat are twice more at risk of death compared to those who are obese over all. That means if someone is over all fat (that is his BMI is high) but his WHR (waist to hip ratio) is fine, he is -despite being in high risk category- better off than someone whose whr is high but who otherwise doesn't look obese or is even thin!

This is huge. It straight away establishes that obesity is dangerous but having a spare tyre around your waist more dangerous.

The obvious reason being suggested is that having a big belly increases the amount of fat inside the abdomen (visceral fat). This may then cause inflammation to the vital organs stored inside the abdomen, which possibly makes people vulnerable to chronic diseases. And the abdomen has obviously the most vital organs.

So guys don't relax if you apparently don't look fat. As long as you have a belly you cant be healthy and obviously can't look too aesthetic either with that tyre bulging out...

The solution of course is good eating habits and exercise. The only two ways of reducing it!! So start it right now. Diwali is over.

For those who don't know about WHR.. this is how to measure it!! :

To calculate your waist-to-hip ratio you need to:
*measure your hips
*measure your waist
*divide the waist number by the hip number

A ratio of 1.0 or more in men or 0.85 or more in women indicates you are carrying too much weight around your middle. This puts you at increased risk of diseases linked to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

As I just wrote, you can lose this excess belly fat through a combination of diet and exercise. You should avoid energy-rich/nutritionally poor goods, such as processed food and alcohol. Foods with plenty of fibre are a good alternative, as fibre can make you feel fuller with fewer calories..

Diwali is over. Get running and stop eating junk.

I will keep posting more on health n fitness often from now as its my passion... For quite a few years now I have been spending at least 2 hours a day reading up on health and fitness related researches. There are so many absolutely interesting and eye opening researches I keep coming across that I feel it's very important for the layman to know about them in order to live healthy and spend less on medical bills. I will thus be sharing these research findings with you all from time to time. Of course though I will keep quoting my reference points I would want my readers to please do their own research and talk to their trusted fitness expert/doctors before implementation of anything I post.

Hope it helps!

Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

A phony poseur that has been made only to mock India for the viewing pleasure of the First World!! The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been trashed as a rotting old hat, which literally stands out only because of its stench, but since the man making it happens to be from the West, we’re all left celebrating the emperor’s new clothes. The film borrows an undoubtedly interesting narrative style – from films like “City of God” – but then uses it to weave in a collection of clichés from the Third World’s underbelly for the viewing pleasure of a First World audience. The real slumdog in the movie is not ...

HATS OFF TO SHAH RUKH KHAN FOR STANDING HIS GROUND! IT’S NOW TIME TO END THIS HOOLIGANISM ONCE AND FOR ALL AND MAKE MUMBAI A UNION TERRITORY!

SRK is great! Not just because he is such a star, but because he genuinely is the most amazing person and has such a logical and sound brain. And now the entire nation idolizes this man all the more because he has become a symbol of sheer courage as well! And I think all it required was someone like him to stand up coolly and say, “This is not right, I’ve done nothing wrong and I won’t apologise.” When he was saying this, one could almost see the schoolboy rebel in him – not ready to cow down to an illogical man trying to act as the school headmaster. I am writing this editorial immediately after coming back from a show on NDTV 24x7, which was on the topic, “Is Sena the real power in Mumbai?” I was one of the speakers. It was sad to see Uddhav Thackeray, who was another speaker in that show, sticking to a stance that cannot be defended by any sense of logic. When questioned on the show by the NDTV anchor on his tendentious comments against SRK, Uddhav’s reply was that one should ask th...

Chinese investments in Africa, a lesson for the world!

As London burns and USA is downgraded with fears of another recessionary wave hitting the world, there is one thing that becomes amply clear. You can’t have a world full of inequity and live in peace. Never before in its history has the gap between the rich and the poor widened as it has in the last 40 years in America. And every right wing party has only worked hard to enrich the rich. Every time the Democrats have come back and tried to increase even half a percent of tax on the rich to use it for those marginalized by the markets, the Republicans have screamed hoarse. No doubt, Obama has knowledge about economics, but what is happening in America right now is a shame, especially the way right wing fanatics are making the scene look worse than it is. The problem in UK is however another side of the same coin. The whites were sitting happily claiming that the blacks and other minorities live better in UK than they would have in their country of origin. However, happiness is a comparat...
